  "description": "A Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident reports the loss (or applies to replace a damaged) National Registration Identity Card (NRIC), Singapore's mandatory national identity document, and applies for a replacement. Models Part I (Particulars of Applicant) and Part II (Declaration by Applicant) of ICA's official 'Application for Replacement of NRIC (Loss)' form, plus the payment step described on the primary online process page. It does not model reporting or applying on behalf of another person (a proxy/medical-incapacity path, submitted separately via a distinct FormSG form), the optional 'Authorisation to a Proxy to collect Identity Card' counter-collection step, or the scheduled age-30/age-55 re-registration cycle (a distinct document, sg/ica/identity-card-reregistration). It does not submit the application; the live ICA source is always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).",

The primary self-service e-Service (eservices.ica.gov.sg/esvclandingpage/iconline) is Singpass-authenticated and could not be entered; per this registry's convention for Singpass-gated flows (see sg/ica/passport-application), the fields were instead grounded in the one ICA-published, field-by-field, independently inspectable specification of this exact form: the PDF applicants fill in, which a live, unauthenticated FormSG endpoint (form.gov.sg, public JSON API, see VERIFICATION.md) independently corroborates as the canonical replacement-application form (it is the exact document a proxy reporter is instructed to download, complete, and upload). Status remains 'draft'. See VERIFICATION.md."
